I left out the ones which are using virt_to_bus() for now, because they
are broken on 2.5.x anyway because of that (planb, zoran, stradis unless
I've missed one).

And at least for bttv the switchover from virt_to_bus() to the PCI DMA
mapping interface wasn't trivial (althrought I also did many other
cleanups too along the way), thus I don't feel like fixing those drivers
blindly (i.e. without having hardware to test with).  I prefeare having
stuff obviously broken in the kernel three rather than having a driver
which compiles, loads and crashes the box ...

It is already present in the latest pre patches, I think it the best way
is you adapt it yourself and send it the way to Linus.
